With the battery powered saws, a sharp, maintained chain is essential. I have three for the little DW. The torque on the battery units is impressive but they will be more impacted, of course, with duller chains.
Sharpening chains is Zen to me...I have a nice little set up in the corner.

My brother and I were discussing that exact thing. We both think with a battery powered saw it will be very important that the chain remains sharp. The good news is, my dad has a really nice electric sharpener so that shouldn't be an issue. I'm thinking I'm going to include a few chains just to make sure he has them at his disposal.
